LYRICS VS AUTHENTICITY
« on: March 14, 2014, 02:58:12 PM »
alotta debate lately over who's real, who's fake, who's lyrical and who isn't… let's settle it all in this thread

personally I go with the lyrics but don't get me wrong I prefer the realness over just entertainment  8)

I'll go with lyrics. Hip hop failed the authenticity test a long ass time ago.

authenticity and lyrics go hand and hand. if the talent is genuine the authenticity will be there.

Problem is people not knowin the meanin of whats real. They think any nigga who makes songs about violence and gets caught with gats n doin illegal shit is some kind or hero or person to look up to. A real nigga is the cat who lived or lives that life speaks about it cuz they live it but will tell you the truth about the negatives n wont glorify every aspect to make the shit seem like its some great lifestyle.
Sometimes I need reminders why I bother to rap
Then I think back to cats who only father is rap
I dead beats, but you niggas is Lou
Im Uncle Phil gotta give em somethin real
cause If I dont who will
